Blockchains: Non-‐technical perspec@ve
The blockchain lets people who have no par3cular confidence in each other collaborate without having to go through a neutral central authority. Simply put, it is a machine for crea3ng trust.

Appendix
Background The Connected Reality 2025 report has been published in 2014 (Z_punkt GmbH). Five key innova3on fields have been iden3fied to understand IoT in the broader context of other technological developments. Maybe a sixth innova3on field with IoT affinity has emerged since then. It has to be explored what is relevant in the emerging intersec3on of IoT and blockchain technology.*
* I have been co-‐author of the report. Opinions are my own.
